Incorporating One “Strong” Walk Into Your Running Schedule

No this is not me preaching the "run/walk" method again, or selling Jeff Galloways programs, but only a sharing of my recent awareness of the benefits from incorporating a "strong" walk into your weekly schedule.   Strong is not about "speed" in this element, but about quality of movement.

I received an excellent question from a VIP client (yes, you Bill) asking if keeping your toes straight during running was equally important as when walking to prevent low back pain.   I will tell you what I told him.  A resounding YES!!!

Fire up the glutes!

I really don’t mean to keep picking on Men’s Health Magazine, but I just can’t help it.  I guess it’s because it’s the only fitness magazine that comes to my house, and I really enjoy reading it.  So, as I was perusing the December 2009 issue, I came across an article entitled “Work Your Buns [...]
